What Services Are Included In Your
Flat Fee?

At Whitehallpublishing.com, we provide you with
pre-editing, editing, custom cover design,
typesetting, layout and a college level education in
publishing that you won't get anywhere else!

Among the many steps included in the Premium
Level is a professional pre-publish review of
your book. During this stage of the process, we
will read your manuscript and provide you with
"notes" on tone, direction, characters, marketing
strategies and much more. This is before the
formal editing process begins and is designed to
help you take your original manuscript from great
idea to effective, marketable finished work.

This service is just one of several that separates
Whitehallpublishing.com from other companies
who offer 'author-assisted' publishing services.
Our goal is to help you create your best work that
is also marketable after it is published. Again, you
are in the driver's seat so while our professionals
may provide you with "notes", the final decision
will always be up to you. I can say that without
exception, all of our authors have a "light bulb"
moment when they read the "notes" and realize
that their book could go to the next level of
excellence by making some or all of the changes
we recommended.

At Whitehallpublishing.com we are on your side.
We share your dream of creating a great book, and
to that end, we are happy to share with you our
years of publishing and marketing experience to
help you create a finished product that will not
only make you proud, but one that will also have
the most impact on your readers and one that can
move your writing career to the next level. With
us, your books will receive:

Complete Professional Editing

Every book at Whitehall Publishing will go through
3 - 4 editing passes before it goes to press. The
first two focus on syntax / grammar / spelling /
storylines, etc. The remaining passes focus on
aesthetics (layout).

Complete Professional
Typesetting/Layout

We will set up your book for the printer with a
layout you will be proud of while we adhere to all
the specs required by the printer.

Professional Cover Design

Complete professional custom book cover design
of your book. We don't use cookie-cutter book
covers. Every book receives a custom-designed
cover that is created from your concept or we can
have one of our many cover designers present
conceptual ideas to you for review,

E-mail Support Throughout

Unlimited e-mail access to address any and all
questions you may have about publishing,
marketing, sales, book signings, event planning,
book tours, online sales, and any other questions
you may have about the publishing process. We
recommend you invest in a 3-ring binder and keep
all of our e-mail exchanges so you can refer to that
information again and again over the years. That is
why we operate via e-mail, so you have a paper
trail and you don't have to take frantic notes
during phone calls.

Pre-Publication Reviews

We will help you obtain pre-publication reviews
that will go on the back cover of your book before
it goes to the printer. This is a great way to
encourage sales.

Printer Prep of your Files

We will prepare your interior and cover files for
the printer and we will shepherd your book
through the print process from start until the
books are safely delivered to your door!

When you are ready to get started, simply e-mail
us a note to info@whitehallpublishing.com with
the basic specs of your book (page count, trim

your first print run.

Once we receive your information, we will send
you a publishing contract that you can review, sign
and fax back to us. We are happy to bill any major
credit card for your convenience or you are
welcome to pay by wire transfer or Pay Pal.

We split your flat fee payment into three
installments both for your convenience and for
your protection. You can also process each of your
three installment payments through our secure
shopping cart by following this link. Your first
payment is only 50% of the total flat fee and it is
due upon contract signing. The second installment
is due after the book is fully edited, cover design
is completed and we are ready to go to press. At
that point, 40% of the remaining balance will come
due and the third and final 10% installment
payment will not come due until your books are
delivered to you after publication.

Once we receive your signed contract and payment
information, we will e-mail you asking for your
manuscript to be sent as an attachment in an
e-mail to us (in .doc or .txt format) or through the
post via CD-Rom or USB stick.

Once your manuscript arrives, we will begin in
earnest, the publication of your book!

Pricing Information

Books can be published in a wide variety of trim
sizes (height and width of the book). We work on
a flat fee basis on all elements of your project. We
don't like surprises anymore than you do and for
that reason, we want you to know exactly what
your costs will be, before you sign any contracts
with us. Our goal is to put you in the driver's seat
on your project both creatively and financially.

NOTE: We can not include print costs in the flat
fee because the cost will vary from book to book
depending on the number of pages, trim size and
quantity requested. HOWEVER, before you sign a
contract with us, we will get you the print costs in
writing so you know to the penny what your total
production costs will be.

How Am I Billed?

Credit cards are the easiest and most efficient
means of billing, but we are happy to work with all
the payment options available through PayPal.

When contracts are signed and returned to us with
your manuscript (via e-mail), we will bill you only
50% of the flat fee for the brokering of the project,
at that time. This can be paid via any major credit
card or by PayPal through our secure shopping
cart.

When the book goes to the printer, you will be
expected to pay the second installment of our fee
(40%). This can also be processed through our
secured shopping cart by following this link.

If your book has a color interior or a hard cover
and will be printed by an offset printer, most offset
printers requires 50% of your total print bill at this
time as well via wire transfer directly to the
printer.

For offset printing projects, you will be sent a set
of proofs for your review. When you sign-off on
those proofs and authorize the printer to start
printing the books, your final 50% of the print bill
will come due to the printer. Print bills are paid
directly to the printer, in most cases, via wire
transfer. There are no mark-ups on print bills. We
will send you the actual bids from the printers.

When the books are completed and delivered to
you, our final 10% payment comes due and this
marks the completion of our work. This final
payment can also be paid through our secured
shopping cart.
